Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We understand that you are concerned about youth crime and violence, but many of the things you request in your petition are not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Decisions about excluding students are a matter for individual schools. Decisions about investigating and prosecuting alleged crimes are a matter for the police and Crown Prosecution Service, and decisions about sentencing are a matter for the courts.

We can accept petitions calling for changes to the minimum and maximum sentences for certain offences, as these are set out in legislation, but you'd need to be clear what offences you wanted minimum and maximum sentences to be changed for, and how you wanted these changed.
